It was their first Valentine's Day as a couple, and Perry was in a rut on what to get Della.

Chocolate. That's an easy gift to give.

Perry nodded as he walked into the grocery store and "spied" a large box of Whitman's Chocolate as he smiled,

"That ought to do the trick."

He didn't really see the box out of the blue, so to speak. Della always had a tiny box sent to the office from her father each Valentine's Day and seeing Della's face light up each year seeing the tiny box of chocolates made him smile.

He knew that for their first Valentine's Day it would be improper to not get Della a larger box of Whitman's to accompany the tiny box from her father.

He smiled as he went to pick up pink roses and a card.

As he sat down to write his message, he kept thinking about how unashamedly quickly he fell for Della.

That smile of hers, her eyes, her kindness. I could go on but I knew when she walked into my office for the first time… She was the one.

Perry smiled as he wrote a very poetic message for her as he smiled.

The morning of Valentine's Day,

Della woke up feeling rather blue for some reason, it wasn't the fact that she knew that she was loved and appreciated. She just couldn't put her finger on it,

Maybe I'll feel better once I get to the office.

Della sighed as she got ready as Perry had stayed overnight at the office, he was too nervous to go home as he woke up and set up the surprise on her desk.

"Morning – Oh!"

Della said as she walked in and felt tears surface as she saw the bigger box of her favorite chocolates with the tiny box on top.

"Oh, Perry. How'd you know? I love Whitman's chocolates! Dad gives me a tiny box every year for Valentine's Day."

Della said as she looked up as she tried to connect the dots,

"Did you talk to Dad?"

Perry shook his head as Della felt a blush creep onto her cheeks as she gasped,

"You didn't then how?"

Perry smiled,

"Each Valentine's Day, it warmed my heart to see you light up when your Dad sent the tiny box. So, this year since its our first Valentine's Day, I figured why not get you a bigger one?"

Della set the box down as she walked over to him and kissed him deeply and when she broke the kiss,

"You never cease to amaze me, my love. Happy Valentine's Day, and here's hoping that we have many more."

Perry smiled as he kissed her back and they broke the kiss with a laugh as they began working on that very special day of love.
